These are difficult times.
No classroom, school, or district could have foreseen the unprecedented events that have taken place due to the Corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic that has affected the entire world.
Even as educators improvise and come up with creative and inventive ways to deliver education remotely to students, the conditions keep changing daily, even hourly, as new information becomes available and elected officials enact new orders.
This much is clear: Education must go on.
How schools proceed to serve students and their families will continue to be debated in the days and weeks to come, but distance learning is now going to be a primary method of service. So what does this mean and how does it look? Is it a live webcam broadcasting from our homes during school hours? Uploaded lessons for students to download and complete at home? Individual emails to students? Does each student have the technology to receive this type of instructions? Do educators?
There is no doubt that there are many questions and challenges that educators must face during this time of education and social interruption, but by maintaining communication channels open with faculty, administrators, departments, para-educators, office staff, etc. we will be able to do that which we have always done...
Provide the best education for students while supporting them in their time of need.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Manuel R. CortezRodas - Educator
